Glass Negative – 1962/3 Bolton suburb

Look closely and you can see that this early 1960s negative is made of glass. Coated with a light sensitive emulsion it was contact printed with the original drawing to make an intermediate copy which was then used to produce positive Bromide paper pages on which page numbers and index references could be added. Unusually small it may have been made simply as a test or as an inset map.
